iScore by ICICI

This discussion is to understand what is an iScore by ICICI which appears in iMobile App under " Discove" tab for SB account holders
its impact on pre-approved offers and their limits..​

What is iScore?

iScore is an internal/proprietary score score provided by ICICI Bank to its customers, on the basis of their transactions in the physical and digital world.
Before we go on to the details of how it is calculated , let us see its uses from customer perspective based on my observations:

1) iScore - its impact on Credit card pre approved offers
( Very minor role as of now, but could play a considerable role in future)..

iScore is not playing a siginificatnt role in triggering pre-approved credit card offers yet.. but in future it may be considered with some greate importance depending upon how ICICI wants to take this forward ..
I found only one instance where low iScore had resulted in no pre-approved offers for a customer.. ..in the following case..
complete details are here in this thread..

What it essentially means, iScore is playing some part in triggering pre-approved CC offers , albiet a very minor role as of now..

2) Significant role in Crdit limits on products like Credit card, Home Loan, Personal Loan , Auto loan etc.

This is where the plot thickens.. I have found quite a significant co-relation between iScore and limits offered on various Credit / Loan products ..
The higher the iScore the higher the limits offered.....

3) Essentially iScore is useful for limits offered on differnt pre-approved loans largely and to credit card limits to some extent ...


Now.. We will go into the academics of iScore,
What is an iScore, how it is built, how to improve, what are the different slabs, etc..
Here I am providing allt he screenshots of these FAQ's taken directly from iMobile App...
It is quite easy to understand...

Some basic details of iSocre..

1) This is available under " Discover " tab in iMobile app.
2) The customer had to hold a SB account to see thid option
3) In the first screen it will show your score..
4) You will find a button there to find out " how to improve your iScore?" .. these options are customized according to the cutomer's current profile..
Basically they want us to use thier different ICICI products..

Tip: Try to use as many products as possible with the least amount of cashoutflow.. the trick is we need to use different prodcuts offerd by ICICI and make sure they are not forced spending on our part. and still try to cover maxmium products with least amuont of outflow..
for eg. regularly we can use some token pre-paid recharge ( load Rs10 into mobile's main balance), a few payments thru QR scan etc...
This way I kept my iScore at 90 at one point of time...
Like this you can find your own spend types..


You can find your iScore( for SBA holders) under " Discover " in iMobile App..
Scroll down to the bottom in the " Discover" tab.

1. Home Loan : 95L
2. Auto Loan : 50L

Now, Let us do some collobarative research on this topic to establish some facts based on my above observations...
Share your profile, iScore, your pre approved offers, its limits etc.. your expereince and observations ..

I believe , this will definitely help in understanding how ICICI triggers its pre-approved offers and limits going into the future...

Imprtant Note: If you have very high income (ITR) and a very good CIBIL, and have availed decent amount of credit products from ICICI, then iScore's role is negligible in your pre-approved Credit card offers.. Actually some of these factors will contirbute to the high iScore itself and there by good offers...

If any card u hold with 4l in ICICI take a zero mab privilege account
I have noticed that there is an option in the app to ‘Open a Savings Account Instantly’ and get an account within 4 minutes. Would you recommend starting with this option and later upgrading the account, or should I directly opt for opening a privilege account?

From what I read here, it is beeter to open ICICI account offline rather than online..
 
@SSV What do you suggest,should i take both LE & Upgrade or wait.Ironically its same icici who inspite of having me with them for 17+ years refused to convert coral to ltf
 
imobile is not compatible with honor phone,so i use netbanking .I did update my details in profile section and still see below View attachment 58411
This will show like that even though you update your profile .. dont worry..

It seems you cant have imobile on your mobile set.. leave it..

Now it it is upto you whether you take your LE or not..
I tend to say NO.. at this point of time.. but Ican say with conviction with out knowing your iScore..
all the best

Better to visit nearby branch since online opening will have kyc and cdd delay during the time account will be in debit freeze
 
NO for LE ,But yes for upgrade to Sapphiro is that correct? @SSV
Yes .. that is correct..
take Sapphiro LTF..
dont take LE..
in 6 months you will get better LE..
but you need to get hold of your iScore, otherwise it is all speculation.

Same... my iScore was in 80s in Jan, then fell down to 60 and remained the same next 4 months... I only got the Sapphiro dual card last month and nothing else changed in my account... Dunno the reason behind the fluctuating score.
Fluctuating iScore is because your activity in different products.

Guys please read every point in FAQ list attached in the first post, then you will understand about iScore and how it fluctuates..
I will write another small post later here highlighting this
